NAF Airstrike Destroys Terrorist Base in North-East Nigeria

On April 27, 2026, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) conducted a coordinated airstrike against a terrorist base located in the Mandara Mountain area, primarily along the northeastern border of Nigeria and Cameroon, within Adamawa State extending into Borno State. The operation, confirmed by credible intelligence and reconnaissance reports, aimed to neutralize multiple terrorist structures and logistical hubs supporting insurgent activities in the region.

Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodam, the Director of Public Relations and Information at NAF Headquarters, stated that the airstrike was executed in accordance with established rules of engagement, ensuring the protection of civilians in the surrounding environment. The successful strike resulted in the destruction of key terrorist infrastructure, thereby degrading the operational capacity of the insurgent network.

This operation reflects NAF's ongoing commitment to deny terrorist groups freedom of action and strengthen national security efforts.
